A website and blog that celebrates the highly individualistic music of the fascinating French composer Florent Schmitt (1870-1958) — as well as the scholars and musicians who study and perform his works.

Florent Schmitt: Listing of Concert Performances of Compositions Housed at the INA Archives (French National Radio/Television)

It should come as little surprise that the largest repository of live concert recordings of French composer Florent Schmitt’s music is at the archives of INA, the French Broadcasting System. Dozens of performances made over the past 50+ years exist — only a relatively small portion of which have been made accessible since they first aired on radio or television.

Listed alphabetically below are concert performances of Florent Schmitt’s music known to be housed in the INA’s archives, with links to available recordings or downloads included where known.

We can only hope that many more of these important historic audio documents will see the light of day eventually.
